Drain specialists in Cheshunt

Our base in Enfield means our Cheshunt engineers know the area's drainage like the back of their hand — which streets have older clay runs, which estates were built on the harder ground, where the council mains sit, and which gully designs are typical for which periods of housing.

That local knowledge translates into faster diagnoses, fewer surprises and lower bills. A drainage company that only knows central London learns your street on your time. We don't.

Cheshunt and the Broxbourne corridor straddle the old Lea Valley drainage catchment — an area where surface water and foul water systems have been merged and separated multiple times over the decades. Properties in Waltham Cross and Cheshunt town centre often have older combined drains that carry both rainwater and sewage to the same pipe. When these block during heavy rain, the result is garden flooding and internal backflow rather than just a slow sink. Identifying whether the blockage is in the foul run, the surface water run, or a shared section requires camera inspection — we carry it on every van.

The newer housing estates in Broxbourne, Hoddesdon and Goff's Oak built since 2000 use separate sewer systems as required by current building regulations. These are generally trouble-free, but we do see installation issues on properties built during the 2002-2008 construction boom where pipe gradients were laid too shallow and waste simply doesn't clear. A CCTV gradient survey quickly confirms whether this is the cause of a recurring slow drain.
